Cymbals Eat Guitars offered one of the best albums of 2009 with Why There Are Mountains, positioning themselves as one of the breakout bands of the year in the process. Whilst we wait for new material, they recently recorded a cover of "Ballad of Big Nothing," one of the strongest tracks from arguably Elliott Smith's finest album, Either/Or. It's a highly faithful version, but the distinct Cymbals Eat Guitars aesthetic shines through. I passed on the chance to check them out at the Night & Day last year; I won't be making that mistake the next time they're in Manchester. If you haven't already done so, then Why There Are Mountains is well worth checking out.
